FLEXIBILITY VS. TARGETING
It’s the Local Control Funding Formula!
But, it also targets funding to specific student characteristics and needs
Both flexibility and resource “equity” are core tenets of the LCFF and both are supported by research and practice
State Board tasked with maintaining the right balance

LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA(LCFF)
LCFF simply gets us to a target of 2007/08 funding over an eight year period.
There will be many disparities among different districts.
Comparability with other districts will be difficult to determine as some districts receive significantly more and others significantly less.
Each District needs to determine what they can afford to remain solvent.
